Lost computer... 1:51AM
Summer is almost here. The past three days have been cloudless and sunny but still a little cool and windy (typical Wellington). I am inside in a dark room peering out and I'm getting sick of it. Its a nothing state. An inbetween. Its not warm enough to go swimming in the sea or lie out on the beach but its too nice to stay inside. An ultimatium I give. Either get hotter or become crap weather again. At least in crap weather I don't feel guilty staying inside.
Fuck. Fuck fuck. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. I tried installing Windows XP Pro over my Home XP. It installed ok but blue screened on startup. Safe mode worked ok though so I thought alright, try reinstall again but this time with a different CD. Not good. This time it blue screened during installation, crashed out and then blue screened on start up and wouldn't go into safe mode because it was in the fucking middle of an installation and it can't continue installing in safe mode. Again FUCK! So I installed XP Pro into a different directory and, thank God, it all went sweet. My computer is now working again and even though I have all my programs there I have lost all my settings, desktop icons, shortcuts, email history, addressses and etc, favourite links, and my shared folders such as all my fucking music and all my digital camera pictures... you bitch! Don't ever store stuff in the folders that Microsoft provides for you cause if Windows fucks up then they could be gone. So my profile is sitting there, in a nice little folder called Ashes, (hopefully) containing all my MP3s, all my photos and all my work (half of this is backed up luckily but not all of it), but Windows the fucker has denied me access to this folder. I can't copy or rename or browse it, its there but hidden from me (the Administrator) so I have to work on this to get my shit back then I will definitly back it all up. But once again fuck.
I'm not doing much at the moment. Dan has brought a new DVD player so I have been watching a few DVDs. Thats about it. Still going to the gym. I find it quite amusing that I like to tense my muscles to notice the new found (tiny) bulges there. Its funny because I have the skinniest arms there but I'm so proud of how they're progressing :) If you can remember that add about weed killer where that weedy guy in gumboots with his socks pulled up stands in the middle of a paddock trying to show off his muscles until a bottle of weed killer hits him away. If you can picture that then you can imagine me!
Right now my highlight in life is looking forward to a BBQ on this upcoming long weekend (Labour weekend). Its a long weekend (not that that means anything to me) and I've got nothing planned except for a BBQ. How lame is that?
Today I might read out in the sun. I am currently reading ""Catcher in the rye"". Is alright so far
